I do not get why the following is not a logical alternative.

1.Rxe6 fxe6 2.Nxe6 Qa5 3.Bxd7+ Kxd7 4.Nec5+ Ke8 5.Qd7+ Kf7 6. Bh6+ Kf7 7. Ne6
threatening 8. Ng5 Qxg5 9. Bxg5. Now, black can probably escape this, but his
king is fairly exposed. And granted, this is many ply down, so hard to see for a
program, but quite a few of these moves are basically forced, so I would think
that extensions would be in order.

Is there something I am missing?
